**Can't decide which Chiané I prefer. Meant to add the scar to V2's chin, but forgot. She is also had dark blue/purple hair with purple-red/burgundy highlights, but can't really see it well in these pictures.

So far, been told V1 looks more punk, V2 more elegant.

V2 has prettier eyes

Input from my DW peeps (or anyone, *grins*)???

 

Version one looks slightly younger due to the shorter hairstyle. It indicates a potentially more playful personality, whereas the longer hair looks more mature. This is probably the reasoning behind the punk vs. elegant comments. Personally, I prefer version 1, but that's mostly because I'm a big fan of purple (my favorite color).

 

If you wanted to mix the two, you could keep the emerald green eyes offset by a purple tattoo/lipstick and see if the contrast makes both more vibrant. Perhaps add green (or purple) highlights to the hair to round it out. I've also found if you do highlights but pick the same color as the main color, you still get a slight highlighting of the base color that looks better than the base without highlights (in my opinion). Can't really tell what colors you have for the hair in the second version.

So...this thing is way too diverting.

 

I started out thinking I wanted to play this:

But then I was playing in the Benchmark and I unexpectedly got this:

And after playing around more (because I really like Midlanders and was planning on playing one):

So now I'm torn.  I can't decide!  And meanwhile, THIS is appealing to me (I have seriously tried but I just cannot make a Lalafell without shimmery pink or purple hair, which may make me a bad person :S):

And then I tried Elezan, even though something about their proportions makes me twitch:

And I couldn't help but make a Mi'quote:

...help me.  I think I have a problem.... D:

If only I could get into playing furry-ish characters.  >.>  I just can't.  I do best just RPing humans or things close to humans.  :)  In WoW, I had a Pandaren RP character, but although I LOVE her, I just...cannot...get into RPing her.  :S  It makes me very sad!

Made some more tweaks. The main thing that I've been wrestling with since phase 3 is that from a distance, everything about her just appeared brown, brown, brown. Her hair was brown, her skin was brown, her eyes were dark yellow (which appeared nearly brown), and her lips would appear brown everywhere except very bright outdoor environments. So, I tweaked each of those things slightly to give her some more color.

 

So, I bumped up her hair color a single shade, gave her some lip color, and changed her eye color.

Odds are I'll continue to tweak it up until phase 4 starts (especially the eye color, which I'm still very much experimenting with), but I definitely like having some more color in her face now.

Funny that you say that. I mean, considering my character is essentially nothing but three colors - black, brown, and yellow. And a bit of pink in the makeup, I guess. All the same, I'm pretty happy her with being 'plain' color-wise.

Edit: Looking at it a bit more, I think the problem is that your character all tends towards the same 'middle' values (as compared to my character who varies between black hair, dark brown eyes, and light-yellow skin), which can look a bit boring. Looks better now with the brighter hair, but it's not very often that I think the colors are the problem as much as the range of values. Try to have some contrast somewhere and generally you won't have issues. On the other hand, maybe having a character that doesn't stand out can be a boon, as well...
